Description

right now you have to sign in with github to publish, but i wanna copy http://geojson.io/ and have it default to anonymous unless you explicity sign in, then when you save it will save under your github account

this will lower the barrier to entry to saving, as not everyone has a github account

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing GitHub sign-in and publish/save flow in the repository, then compare it with the anonymous-first behavior requested in the issue. Define how anonymous saves and signed-in saves should differ, and verify that both paths work without requiring sign-in by default.
